IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW

Sandra Lewis Pringle

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best-
A friend who's always there.

彩虹

桑德拉•劉易斯•普林格爾

但愿我有神奇的魔力，
為你留住天邊的彩虹；
我們來分享它的美麗，
常常讓你一掃愁容。

我會為你造一座大山，
只要能借來鬼斧神工；
遠離那喧囂的塵世，
深藏你孤獨的行蹤。

但愿我能把你的煩惱拋進大海，
但愿我能撫平你的傷痛；
然而，所有都是一廂情愿的幻想，
一切莫過自我沉醉的秋夢。

我沒有魔力留住彩虹，
我造山更缺鬼斧神工；
但可以讓我做你的朋友，
時時陪你，情有獨鐘。
